That last game looked like it was coached by Cameron and Kotite. It was just that bad. I liked the result.

Pats of course. Dolphins will have to double Moss and hope to contain Welker. Meanwhile hopefully the Pats D can deal with the wildcat

Joey Porter running his mouth about the Pats and Tom Brady
Quote:
Lost in the back-and-forth arising from two games played this year between the Jets and the Dolphins and one game played between the Jets and the Patriots is the fact that the Patriots and the Dolphins still play each other twice, too.
And there's plenty of animosity between the two franchises, despite the best efforts of the Jets to supersede the rivalry by picking fights with both teams.
For one member of the Dolphins, the roots of his discontent regarding the Patriots predate his arrival in South Florida.
"It goes back to my Pittsburgh days," linebacker Joey Porter said during a Wednesday conference call, per Albert Breer of the Boston Globe. "I felt a certain way, after some things came out, way back when I was in Pittsburgh, some AFC championships I lost to them, couple times. Come to figure out a few months later why we lost. So yeah, I have a natural hate for them. Period. And that's just gonna be with me forever."
He's referring to the Patriots' practice of videotaping defensive coaching signals, which was exposed by the Jets in 2007. Porter believes that this practice -- and possibly others -- were used during the 2001 and 2004 AFC title games against the Steelers, and that the Pats won both games by cheating.
But he opted not to elaborate on it this time around.
"We do this every year around this time when I do this conference call," Porter said. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. And they know exactly what I'm talking about. And that's not gonna change."
What has changed, in Porter's mind, is the identity of the AFC East's king of the hill. Despite the Dolphins' 3-4 record, Porter regards the defending division champs as the current champs.
"The division goes to the last champion, period," Porter said. "The last champion was the Miami Dolphins. We have the championship until we lose it. It's ours to lose. You can't just crown the champion because they used to be the champions back in the day. That hardly makes any sense. It's what you did the last year. You're never judged off of what you did a couple years ago, it's what you're doing now. Last year, we were the champs."
Porter's logic is a bit tortured. The bottom line is that the Patriots are currently 5-2, and the Dolphins are 3-4. Last year has the same relevance as any prior year -- none.
Based on right now, Porter and his teammates still have to wipe out a two-game gap between themselves and the Patriots. On Sunday, they can cut that margin in half, or they can watch it increase by 50 percent.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter says that as he prepares to face New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Sunday, he has to prepare for a particularly difficult challenge: A quarterback who gets protected by a special set of rules.
Asked by Rich Eisen on NFL Network's Around the League whether Brady has a special set of rules to take care of him, Porter went off.
"No question," Porter said. "When a guy can tell a ref when to throw a flag, and he gets it, he's got his own rules. They made the rule that you don't go at the legs for Tom, so when he feels that someone is going at his legs, he just points to the ref and he gets a flag. So I can honestly say that he gets his own rules."
The comments come a day after Porter said he had "a natural hate" for the Patriots. When pressed by Eisen about why he feels that way, Porter said it all goes back to the Patriots' practice of videotaping defensive coaching signals.
"I still don't care for New England," Porter said. "The hate's been there for a while, especially after all the cheating they did back in the day. . . . They can sweep it under the rug if they want to, but just like anybody else that's cheating that gets caught, you put an asterisk by it. But nobody puts an asterisk by those championships they won."
Porter also claimed that when the Dolphins visited New England last year, players and coaches on the Patriots disrupted the Dolphins' pregame warm-ups in violation of league rules.
"Kicking balls while we're stretching, over our heads, out of the end zone that we're stretching in -- certain stuff they did that you can't do, but they did it when we were in New England and somehow they got away with it," Porter said.
Eisen pointed out to Porter that he's been accused of violating some rules himself, having been named the second-dirtiest player in the league in a Sports Illustrated poll of NFL players. Porter said it's just a matter of guys he's played against having a personal problem with him.
"That's just the nature of people not liking me," he said. "I would hate me too if I was on the other side."
